About Me

Full-Stack (MERN) Developer & IT Operations Specialist, focused on building reliable, practical solutions that make work easier for real people.

My Journey

I'm Elijah Ibidayo, a developer with a foundation in full-stack and IT operations. I come from a hands-on background in support, customer service, and technical troubleshooting, which means I care a lot about how systems actually work for the people using them.

Over time, that curiosity turned into building. I started creating web apps, automation scripts, and small tools to remove repetitive work and make processes smoother. Now I focus on MERN stack development (MongoDB, Express, React, Node.js) and using cloud and modern tooling to ship projects that are clean, maintainable, and easy to operate.

What I Work With

I enjoy working across the stack—from crafting responsive front ends to wiring APIs and databases, and understanding the infrastructure underneath.

Experience & Mindset

My experience combines IT support, operations, and development. I've supported users, documented processes, worked with ticketing systems, and helped improve onboarding and internal workflows. That background helps me think beyond “just code” and focus on stability, clarity, and real-life use cases.

I like roles where I can:

  • Build: Web apps, dashboards, and internal tools.
  • Optimize: Simplify workflows, reduce manual steps, and automate where it makes sense.
  • Support: Be the bridge between technical teams and non-technical users.
  • Grow: Learn new technologies, patterns, and best practices continuously.

Currently Focused On

Right now, I'm:

  • Building full-stack projects with the MERN stack.
  • Strengthening my knowledge of cloud platforms and modern deployment practices.
  • Exploring automation and scripting to support IT operations.
  • Attending tech events and connecting with other builders in the industry.
